 | | As a majority of his Cabinet colleagues and party bigwigs were humbled at the hustings in the worst-ever showing of the regional party, it emerged that Naidu's hi-tech, pro-urban image and his much-publicised development plank failed to impress the voters who gave a resounding mandate to the Opposition combine led by Congress. |
 | | Naidu, a quintessential new generation politician known for his penchant for reforms and privatisation, sought to showcase his Government's achievements during the last nine years and harped on good governance and performance planks, asking the voters to "choose between development and destruction". |
 | | Besides, the sympathy factor that Naidu was banking upon in the wake of an abortive assassination bid on him by naxalites in Tirupati last year was not to be seen anywhere as the Opposition juggernaut rolled all over the State. |
